TRACK & FIELD: RCC's Thymes headed to Texas A&M

Riverside City College sprinter Just’n Thymes had a pretty good freshman season in 2013, winning a state title in the 200 meters and helping the Tigers capture another team title. He capped the season in the summer by clocking 20.61 seconds to become the US Junior 200-meter champion.

Thymes started 2014 off on a good note, earning a scholarship to Texas A&M, which tied for the NCAA Division I title last season.

“I am excited about becoming an Aggie, and I truly appreciate everything RCC has done to help me reach this goal,” Thymes said in a statement. “I look forward to helping the Tigers win another state title this season.”

Thymes, who ran 10.48 in the 100 meters in RCC’s first meet this season, will try to become a four-time state champion this year by running the 100, 200 and both relays.
